Florida State diver Josh Davidson has come to be known as "Lucky" by those around the program.

It's not for the reason you think.

The freshman has actually been quite unlucky, dealing with a series of weird injuries and ailments in his first year at Florida State.

His first week on campus, Davidson turned his ankle while playing ultimate frisbee.

He has also had MRSA infections in both of his legs, battled shin splints all season long and suffered a bad bout of food poisoning while on the road before a meet.

In spite of all of this, Davidson is the only diver representing the Florida State men at NCAA Championships in Minneapolis, Minnesota this week.

"As far as he’s come in light of all that, I think this will be a good experience for him," FSU diving coach John Proctor told the Tallahassee Democrat.

"He knows where he needs to go and what he needs to do."

Davidson may be new to diving at the collegiate level, but he is no stranger to competing against some of the world's best.

At the Junior Pan American Championships last fall in Victoria, Canada, Davidson took home a pair of medals in the 16 to 18 age group, a gold in the three-meter springboard and a silver in the one-meter.

He also represented Team USA at the Junior World Championships.

"Being in those high-stress situations, you kind of get acclimated. You can get used to having that pressure on you with everybody looking on," Davidson told the Tallahassee Democrat.
